PREFACE 

Each alumnus of Eta is presented in this memo- 
rial volume with a history of the Chapter in which 
all initiates are named. Correct lists of memliers 
are printed^ arranged alphabetically, geographic- 
ally and by classes. Pictures of individuals and 
groups, college buildings and a map of Athens will 
bring many memories of youth. 

Brother Frank K. Boland, '97, president of the 
Eta Trust Association and permanent president of 
the class of 1897 of the Universit}^ of Georgia, who 
was referred to at a recent Congress as ^^the best 
worker in the Fraternity/^ prepared the history. 
Eta is under everlasting obligation to him for his 
services to her extending over a period of more 
than twenty years. 

Older than all but three chapters, with more 
members, with one exception, than any. Eta has 
probably adorned Chi Phi with more distinguished 
names than any chapter in the fraternity. Thanks 
to a loyal body of alumni she is now housed in 
permanent quarters owned by a corporation com- 
posed of her sons.

History of the Eta Chapter of 

Chi Phi for Its First 

Fifty Years 

CHAPTER I. Its Distinguished Founders. 
1867-1874. 

IJHEEE years after the close of the war found the Uni- 
versity of Georgia rapidly recovering from the effects 
of that disaster, and her halls filled not only with the 
youth of the State, but also with middle-aged heroes 
anxious to make up for the years spent on the field of battle. 
Here, with Sigma Alpha Epsilon just a few months installed, 
on April 16th, 1867, came Eta of Chi Phi, brimming with 
promise, for at Athens was the second oldest State university 
in the country, the leading educational institution of the Empire 
State of the South, and the alma mater of the flower of the 
commonwealth. The story of its birth is best told in one of 
a series of articles on the Southern Order of Chi Phi,* by Brother 
Ethan Allen Weaver (Eho ^74), to whom the fraternity is under 
bonds of everlasting gratitude for his services in recording its 
history. It is well to quote this account here: 

^^Eta chapter owes its origin indirectly to Delta (now Alpha) 
Chapter, and directly to the indefatigable labors of Peter Wilt- 
berger Meldrim, ^68, of Savannah, Ga. Meldrim and King Wylly, 
of Delta (both of Georgia), were intimate friends, the former a 
student at the University of Georgia, which then had about two 
hundred and fifty students, and one fraternity (Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon). At the instigation of Burnett and Adams, of Delta, 
Wylly wrote to Meldrim on the subject of establishing Chi Phi at 
Athens, to which he responded early in November, 1866, that 
while he could give no assurance of his ability to start a chapter, 
he would do all in his power. The Grand Chapter at Chapel Hill 
was at once requested to forward the constitution to Meldrim. but 



*Chi Phi Chakett, Nov., 1893. 



for some reason this was delayed, and nothing accomplished until 
the next session. On January 14th, 1867, Meldrim wrote a strong 
letter expressing surprise at the manner in which his request was 
treated at the 'headquarters of the Chi Phi Fraternity/ and 
Alpha (the Grand Chapter) was strongly urged to delay no longer, 
as it was known that Beta Theta Pi was making efforts to estab- 
lish a chapter at Athens. 

''On March 4, 1867, John Earnest Donalson, ^68, who had been 
a student at Chapel Hill, wrote to Busbee, of Alpha, from the 
University of Georgia, stating that he had been solicited by Mel- 
drim to aid in the establishment of a chapter of Chi Phi, and 
spoke in the highest terms of Meldrim and his associates. Donal- 
son was then a member of the Delta Psi chapter at the Univer- 
sity of Xorth Carolina, from which he subsequently withdrew 
before uniting with Chi Phi. On the same date Adams, of Delta, 
wrote a strong appeal to the Grand Chapter. * * ^ * 

' ' The constitution was forwarded at once, and by March 23, 
Meldrim and Donalson were actively at work; six men had been 
pledged and a room secured. April 17, 1867, Meldrim wrote to 
Busbee: 'Donalson is with me tonight, and is now talking about 
you. The time is 12 o^clock P. M. Last evening the Chi Phi 
was organized. Seven members were present and two absent. 
Five new ones were elected, making our present number (if the 
elected ones accept) fourteen — and fourteen of the best men in 
the university. ^ ^ ' * * * * 

Thus, Eta chapter was established, with the following charter 
members: John Earnest Donalson, '68; Henry Woodfin Grady, 
'68; Louis Eatton Le Conte, '68; Peter Wiltberger Meldrim, '68; 
Jeptha Harris Rucker, '68; Alexander Pratt Adams, '69; Ben- 
jamin Harvey Hill, '69; Robert Huger Johnston, '70. Of this 
number all save Grady, Le Conte, Adams and Johnston are living 
today. 

In a letter to the writer, dated July 28, 1904, Brother Donalson 
says of the beginning of Eta: "At that time the S. A. E. had 
a chapter, and when we came out with our badges, I remember we 
created quite a sensation, and as our members were the most 
popular young men in the college, the girls soon showed their 
partiality for Chi Phi badges. Our chapter room was over a

store, on Broad street, not a great distance from the Phi Kappa 
hall. As a part of the literary exercises we established a debat- 
ing club in our clubroom, but this only existed one or two meet- 
ings; the boys delivered themselves of their thunder in such 
stentorian tones as to reveal the existence and locality of our 
clubroom, which in those days was kept a profound secret. 

^^Well do I remember Horace Beene, who graduated with us in 
1868, who spoke so loud in the debate that he frightened the 
police, and they rushed wildly upstairs to where our room was 
to ascertain the cause of the commotion. As a consequence of 
this episode, as long as we remained in that room our program 
was of a less strenuous order, and we indulged only in essays, 
and these we would not allow to be read in a very loud tone of 
voice. However, the Baalam voice of Beene had revealed the secret 
of our hiding place, and it became necessary for us to seek a 
rendezvous in some other locality. 

^^I remember well in those days about the amount of fun 
we had as the result of an effort to get a certain prominent mem- 
ber of our class into our club. He was a bright fellow and 
wanted to join us, but one of our members who is now adorned 
with the federal judicial ermine,* persisted in blackballing him. 
We soon learned who the brother was that so constantly caused 
the interdiction, by his use of the ebony veto, against one whom 
we thought would reflect great credit upon our fraternity, and 
Henry Grady made a motion that this blackballer should be ap- 
pointed a committee of one to make a report on the student who 
was knocking on the doors, and whom we were so anxious to 
admit. At every meeting of the chapter when we would reach 
^ unfinished business ^ Grady would rise and with very great dignity 

move that 'Brother ^ would make his special report on 

'Mr. . ' Then the devotee of the dark marble, with all the 

grace and dignity for which he is now so conspicuous, would make 
a formal report, and that report would always be written, and a 
more finished piece of writing never came from the facile pen

of Addison, or any of the masters of literature, and would always 
terminate by reporting progress and ask for an extension of time, 
whereupon the same was granted. And so these reports went on 
from week to week, affording us much fun and merriment, more 
so than any other part of our exercises. 

^^How well do I remember the time we graduated — and those 
bright scenes incident to this occasion will ever remain a verdant 
spot in the garden of my memory. The loved and lamented Grady 
was toastmaster, and no one was exempt from participation in 
this carnival of joy and fun; the air was vibrant with song and 
laughter; many a young Boanerges with riotous blood in his 
veins made the welkin ring. And there was music, that charming 
accompaniment, of which we had a full repertoire; and anecdotes 
of the choicest variety; and wit and repartee galore. Finally we 
got around to Mose Guyton, who is now clerk of the court, Jack- 
son county, Florida, and who is a very dignified gentleman, and 
was a dignified boy also.* No one knew of any special merit or 
talent Guyton could lay claim to; he was a clever, genial fellow 
and took one of the honors of the class, but he was not known 
as a speaker, or as a singer, or as a versifier, or anything else, 
so in sheer desperation Grady called out: ^We will now have a 
jig from Brother Mose Guyton.^ Accidentally he struck the only 
talent possessed by our genial friend, but eve^y one was in ignor- 
ance of this; Grady himself did not know it. I suppose it came 
to Grady as an inspiration. The chairs were cleared away and 
Guyton entered the arena. Horace Beene and the other funny 
boys began to pat, and had Al Field or George Wilson been 
present they would have turned all the colors of the prism with 
envy. Guyton did stunts that were a revelation to jigdom, and 
evoked uproarious applause from the delighted spectators. I re- 
call the most interesting members of our chapter: Peter Meldrim, 
Pratt Adams, Horace Beene, Louis LeConte, Henry Grady, Emory 
Speer, Nat. Harris, Walter Hill, Walter Beeks, Hal Johnston and 
Ham. Yancey. There were others, but these were .always inter- 
esting. ^ ^ 



^Brother Guyton died 1911.

Kappa Alpha was founded at Georgia in 1868. Though many 
other Greek letter societies have been represented at various times, 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Alpha are probably the only 
ones which could ever be regarded as rivals of Chi Phi. The 
most impartial judge, studying fraternities here since their origin, 
must be forced to the conclusion that Eta has stood without a 
peer. Her endeavor has always been for quality and congen- 
ialty, and most nobly has she realized these ideals. The highest 
possible standard was set in the selection of her first members, 
and this, we believe, has been maintained down to the present 
day. 

The first initiates of Eta were a remarkable group of men. 
That the chapter should have on its roll as active members at 
the same time the names of so many who have since taken their 
places among the leading citizens of the State and country is 
the most interesting fact in connection with its history. In the 
class of 1867 was Tarpley Holt Ward, who graduated with sec- 
ond honor. In '68 were Donalson, Grady, LeConte, Meldrim, 
Rucker, Howell Cobb Jackson, who died in 1906; Hamilton Yan- 
cey, Horace Dalton Beene, who died in 1881; Thomas Fitzgerald 
Green, who died in 1874; Otis Jones, who died in 1880; and 
Ferdinand Bowdre Phinizy, who died in 1877. Meldrim was 
anniversarian of the Phi Kappa Literary Society in 1868, and a 
member of the law class of 1869. Yancey graduated in law in 
1870. Of Chi Phis in the class of '69 were Adams (deceased 
1892), Samuel Barnett, William Smith Bean, George Henson 
Estes, Moses Guyton (deceased 1911), William Robinson Ham- 
mond, James Thaddeus White, Benj. H. Hill and Emory Speer. 
Guyton, Hammond and Bean shared first honor, and White took 
third. Adams was anniversarian of Phi Kappa in 1869, and 
Speer anniversarian of the Demosthenian Society. The representa- 
tion in the class of '70 was very large and brilliant. Dr. Amory 
Sibley Campbell and Nathaniel Edward Harris, governor of Geor- 
gia, 1915- '17, who shared first honor; Washington Dessau, who 
took second honor; Robert Huger Johnston, who was anniversar- 
ian of Phi Kappa this year; Walter Clarke Beeks, Orville Au- 
gustus Bull, Isaac Foote Dortch, David Benton Fitzgerald, John 
Dennis Hammond, Eugene Alston Hawkins, Walter Barnard Hill, 

17 



Samuel Hoyle, Caleb Augustus Key, John Alexander Morris, Wil- 
liam Augustus Shorter, and Dr. Michael D. C. M. Summerlin. 
Campbell, Johnston, Hoyle, Key, Shorter, Summerlin,Dessau, Mor- 
ris, Bull, Dortch and Hill are deceased. Dessau and Hill were 
also in the law class of ^71. Every one of the men in the first 
three classes, and thirteen of the class of ^70, received their 
degrees, A.M., A.B. or LL.B. It is worthy of note that this 
was true of nearly all the early initiates of the chapter, which is 
a vastly different and better state of affairs than has existed in 
more recent years. 

What can we say of these first members, and how thank them 
for the heritage they have left us? Difficulties in the establish- 
ment of the chapter, and in its maintenance, they must have 
encountered, as all pioneers do. Our literature has teemed with 
praises of them in years gone by, both for their love and labors 
for Chi Phi, and for their achievements in the varied spheres of 
activity to which their talents and energies have called them. 

Of Grady it is superfluous to speak, although there are none 
so dull to love for a great soul not to eagerly hear its glories sung 
forever. Called away ere he had reached his prime, had he 
survived yet a few years more to what heights his superb powers 
would have carried him, who can tell? Though at the time of 
his death his fame was just spreading in the North, in the South 
it is imperishable. To our ears the name of Grady fits well with 
those of our greatest men. As Grand Alpha of the fraternity, in 
1882-^83, he well displayed the devotion he cherished for her. 

The all-important part played by Brother Meldrim in the found- 
ing of Eta is the best known fact to its members in the history 
of the chapter. Not only Chi Phis revere him, but the entire 
university as well. As one of its trustees, and president of the 
alumni society, he has rendered invaluable services to the institu- 
tion. Brother Meldrim ^s list of distinctions includes State repre- 
sentative and senator, mayor of Savannah, colonel of the first 
Georgia cavalry, brigadier-general of the State troops, judge of 
the superior court. Eastern judicial circuit, and president of the 
American Bar Association, all with the honorary degrees of A.M., 
LL.D., and Phi Beta Kappa after his name. In the death of 
Alexander Pratt Adams, in 1892, Eta lost one of her brightest

stars, who, like Grady, was yet in his ascendency when called 
away by the Grim Eeaper. Brother Adams was a member of the 
legislature, and judge of the superior court. Of her earliest sons 
among the living. Eta rejoices in Emory Speer, United States 
judge and ex-congressman, whose renown as jurist and orator is 
national, and oft acclaimed in the annals of Chi Phi; W. R. 
Hammond, judge of the superior court; J. H. Rucker, mayor 
of Athens; John E. Donalson, Benj. H. Hill and Hamilton Yan- 
cey, three of the ablest attorneys in the State, and all ever loyal 
to the scarlet and blue. The eminence of Walter B. Hill in 
the affairs of the university is too well known for comment. The 
institution had never known before such prosperity as it experi- 
enced under his chancellorship. Governor Harris deserves the 
gratitude of the people of the State for being the author of the 
bill establishing the Georgia School of Technology. He was 
chairman of the commission of that splendid institution, and a 
trustee of the university long before he became the chief executive. 
Of others of whom we are proud, now gone to their reward, are 
the brilliant Dessau, president of the Georgia Bar Association, and 
Bull and Dortch (of North Carolina), leading lawyers. Beeks 
has been county judge and State senator; J. D. Hammond is a 
conspicuous member of the Methodist ministry ; and Fitzgerald is a 
prominent planter and politician. 

Before passing from these distinguished brothers, attention 
should be called to the fact that they were responsible for the 
founding of two other strong chapters in Georgia, Kappa (now 
Gamma) at Emory College, and Iota at Mercer University. Among 
the intimate associates of Meldrim and Adams in Savannah were 
H. H. Perry, now of Gainesville, at one time State senator from 
that district, and W. W. Landrum,* former pastor of the First 
Baptist church in Atlanta. In 1869 Perry was a student at Emory, 
and Landrum a student at Mercer, when Meldrim, and probably 
other members of Eta, went to Oxford and initiated the men whom 
Perry and Capers Dickson, known to many generations of Chi Phis 
at Emory as the ^ ' Father of Gamma, ^ ^ selected as organizers of 
Kappa, and went to Macon and initiated the men whom Landrum 



^Xot now a member of the Chi Phi Fraternity.

selected as organizers of Iota. The writer is indebted to Brother 
Pratt Adams, '99, for this data. 

In the class of 1871 Eta had eight members: Joseph Sanborn 
Bean, Iverson L. Brooks, A.B., Thomas Hood Cunningham, A.B., 
and William Henry Mell, all now dead; and Peter Wellborn 
Martin (deceased 1907), Joseph Law Saunders, C.E., James 
Ernest Yonge, A.B., A.M., LL.B. (deceased 1901), and Philip 
Keyes Yonge, A.B., and second honor, A.M., LL.B. The class of 
1872 contained another fine collection of Eta's sons: Samuel Bar- 
nard Adams, brother of the lamented A. P., city attorney of 
Savannah, justice of the supreme court, and trustee of the uni- 
versity; Charles Alexander Atkinson, who died while instructor 
of English at the university, in 1875; John Campbell Avery, 
anniversarian of Phi Kappa, judge of the county court and vice- 
president of the American Bar Association; William Alexander 
Blount, LL.B., from Georgia, and LL.D. from Florida, who took 
first honor, and who, with Judge Avery, ranks among the first 
lawyers of Florida; Alexander Ezekial Calhoun, judge of the 
city court, Atlanta; Kobert Lee Mason Chilton (deceased 1916), 
and Edward Hunter (deceased), lawyers; Albon Chase Hodgson, 
captain TJ. S. N., first honor, U. S. Naval Academy, and navigator 
U. S. S. Brooklyn in the battle of Santiago, July 3, 1898; Eobert 
Newsom Holtzclaw, lawyer, transferred from Mercer Iota; and 
Andrew Jackson Lamar and Albert McCay Williams (deceased 
1915), Methodist ministers. Of these eleven, eight graduated. 

The classic city of Athens has sheltered one Chi Phi conven- 
tion — that of the Southern order of the fraternity, in August, 
1872. At this convention a committee, of which Meldrim was 
chairman and Pratt Adams a member, was appointed to confer 
with the Northern Chi Phi in regard to union. 

The living Chi Phis of the class of 1873 are John Earle Hart- 
ridge, and Benjamin Clark Holtzclaw (initiated at Iota). The 
dead are Henry Walker Barrow, Fletcher Harper Milburn and 
Percy Walker Milburn, Cleon Arthur Niles, James Whitehead, 
William Arthur Whittle, Daniel Eeiser Groover (1905), and Albert 
Edward Thornton, Sr. (1907). Seven of these ten graduated. 
Hartridge stands high at the bar in Jacksonville, Fla. Thornton, 
the first member of the notable Chi Phi family of that name, was 

22

a manufacturer and banker in Atlanta; Barrow died a few years 
after graduation; the brothers Milburn were sons of the blind 
chaplain of the U. S. senate; Niles was a well-known journalist, 
dying in 1899, and Whitehead, a successful politician, dying in 
1900. In the class of 1874 were David Crenshaw Barrow, so long 
professor of mathematics in the university and now the beloved 
chancellor; Edward Marcellus Hammond (deceased 1912), brother 
of the two other Hammonds, and a well-known member of the 
legal profession in Florida; Pierce Butler Mays, Robert Weston 
Patterson, first honor at Mercer where he went after finishing two 
years at Athens and one at Charlottesville, Va., who met an un- 
timely end in Oklahoma in 1895; Alonzo Dee Schofield, Sr., and 
Charles Carroll Speer. Speer died at the beginning of his senior 
year. Two of this class received their diplomas. 

In 1874, Dr. Andrew A. Lipscomb, who, as chancellor, had 
served the university so faithfully since 1860, resigned, and Dr. 
Henry H. Tucker was chosen to take his place. Dr. Tucker was 
a great preacher and a charming man, but under his administra- 
tion the college did not flourish, the roll of matriculates decreas- 
ing in three years from 266 to 116. In 1878 he was asked to 
resign. This period of the decline of the university was also the 
period of the suspension of the Greek letter societies. Five were 
in the field at the time of Dr. Lipscomb ^s retirement, Phi Delta 
Theta having entered in 1871, and Phi Gamma Delta having been 
established only a few months. Fraternity feeling had grown 
to be so bitter that in 1874 the board of trustees adopted a rule 
requiring all students who matriculated at the university to 
sign a pledge that they would not join a fraternity while in col- 
lege. Eta chapter of Chi Phi, although in a prosperous condition, 
resolved to disband, and all the paraphernalia, which was at 
that time of the old Southern order, together with the charter 
and records, was entrusted to the Kappa chapter at Emory Col- 
lege. Just previous to this unhappy event occurred the union 
of the Northern and Southern orders (March, 1874), in which 
Eta was one of the prime movers. 

The chapter held no meetings, and initiated no new members 
from ^74 to ^78, but in the classes graduating in the meanwhile 
were several of Chi Phi's brightest stars. '75, a banner class 

25 



of the university, had John Collier Hart, an ex -judge of the 
superior court and former attorney-general of Georgia, now state 
tax commissioner; Boykin Wright, an ex-attorney-general, initiated 
by Kappa; Dr. Frank Morris Eidley, the first of many loyal Chi 
Phis of that family, one of the foremost physicians of the State, 
and one of its few citizens who has ever refused a nomination 
for congress; Eobert L. Summer lin, county judge; John Strieker 
Coles (deceased 1913), Chapman Russell Twitty (deceased 1906), 
and Frank Ralph Clark, well known and successful; and William 
Ward Sturgis, who died in 1876, and Edward Marion Oates, who 
was accidentally shot at his home in 1874, while a member of 
the junior class. The members of Eta in ^76 were Joseph Samuel 
Cook, B.S., and Junius Wingfield Nisbet, A.B., and Sterling Gard- 
ner Brinkley, A.B. (deceased 1910), George Tyndall Hodgson, 
Jacob Phinizy, now president of the Georgia R. R. and Banking 
Co., in Augusta, Robert Galphin Taylor (deceased 1905), and 
William Woods Forsyth, colonel of U. S. cavalry, who was in the 
battle of Pekin, China, in 1900. Hamilton McWhorter, our sole 
representative in '77, received the degree of LL.B., was formerly 
superior court judge, and is now attorney for the Southern rail- 
way and a trustee of the university. George Gilmer Sale, our 
only man in '78, received the degree of A. B.

CHAPTER II. The Revival. 
1878-1893. 

One of the first acts of Dr. Patrick H. Mell, an honorary S. A. 
E., who was elected chancellor in 1878, was to have the ban 
against fraternities removed. During the four years of suspen- 
sion, S. A. E. and Phi Delta Theta remained in the university 
in spite of the pledge. Alpha Tau Omega entered in 1878. K. A. 
returned in the same year, with Chi Phi. It was largely due to 
the efforts of Brother R. G. Taylor, then residing in Athens, 
that Eta was revived at this time. Together with George Hodg- 
son and Elijah Alexander Brown, '79, an initiate of Oglethorpe 
Lambda, he set to work to rebuild the chapter, a task, of course, 
beset with no little difficulty. Assistance was also given by 
Brothers Meldrim, Pratt and Samuel Adams, and Profs. William 
George Woodfin, Henry C. White and David C. Barrow, of the 
university. 

In his history of the chapter from 1878 to 1881,* Brother 
Austin Lee McRae, '81, tells us that Brothers Joel E. Wooten, 
Henry R. De Jarnette, Wm. M. Dunbar and Tracy Baxter came 
over from Gamma to assist in the first initiation. They rode in 
a carriage from Oxford to Athens, bringing the iDaraphernalia 
with them. But the original charter of Eta, and her records 
previous to this time are irrevocably lost. So far as can be 
ascertained, the chapter returned to the fraternity without formal 
authority. 

The first initiates of the revived chapter were Gustavus John 
Orr, Jr., '80; Billups Phinizy, '81; Albert Lee Gumming, '80; 
James Mathew Mayne, '80; William Henry Steele, '80; Austin 
Lee McRae, '81; and Thomas Pope Stanley, '82. These, with 
Brown and Dunklin, gave a membership of nine. Brown grad- 
uated A.B. in 1879, and the entire chapter distinguished itself 



^Chi Phi Quarterly, June, 1886.

by the stand it took in college, thus giving Chi Phi an auspicious 
send-off the first year of its return. 

The remaining eight returned in the fall, making the prospects 
very bright for a prosperous year. The following names were 
added to the roll during the session of 1879-^80: Joshua William 
Stephens, ^82 (deceased 1891); Henry Fulton Atkinson, '82; 
Benjamin Charles Milner, '82; Samuel Caleb Morgan, '83; John 
Eobert Slater, '80 (deceased, 1892) ; James Thornwell Newton, 
'80; and Hugh Vernon Washington, '82 (deceased 1911), giving 
a membership for the year of fifteen. 

Honors in the debating societies were prized above everything 
else in these days, and Chi Phi took more than her share of them. 
Her men also captured a large portion of the military offices, 
which were esteemed second only to high rank in debate. Alto- 
gether, the chapter was so elated over its success that in May 
it gave a banquet at the Ben Hill residence, at which twenty 
couples were present. At commencement five men graduated: 
Dunklin and Orr, A.B., who stood second and third, respectively; 
Steele, C.E.; Mayne, B.E., and Cumming, B.Ch.Sc. Stephens, 
Stanley and Morgan were characterized as being ^ ' expert with the 
willow and sphere." 

Atkinson and Milner did not return in the fall of 1880, but two 
affiliates came from Gamma — Lawton Bryan Evans, '81, and 
Frank Alexander Chamber lin, '82 (deceased 1892) — ^which meant 
nine old men. James Ervin Godfrey, '83, Jackson Bartow Eoun- 
tree, '83, and Charles Brown Griffith, '83, were initiated at the 
opening, and after Christmas Walter Jefferson Rountree, '83, a 
brother of J. B. Rountree, and Walker Dunson, '82, were added, 
while Marcus Aurelius Pharr, '82, came over from Gamma, mak- 
ing the total membership again fifteen. 

Washington was a candidate for the champion debate in the 
Phi Kappa society, but was defeated by the K. A.'s because the 
Chi Phis refused to ^^ bargain" for votes. The K. A.'s appeared 
friendly until election day, when they voted against Washington. 
This caused a row between the fraternities which resulted in 
each selecting champions to settle the matter with their fists. 
Brothers Stephens and Slater whipped the K. A.'s, Smith and 
Fannin, respectively. As the affair was thus satisfactorily dis-

posed of by the fraternities, the faculty took no hand in it. With 
a few exceptions, Eta was afterwards on good terms with the 
K. A/s. 

Evans, A.M., took typhoid fever during the examination, so 
his rank in the class could not be determined, though he no doubt 
stood very high. Slater received his A.B., and McEae took first 
honor in the B.Sc. course. 

Stanley, Pharr, Stephens, Washington, Dunson, Milner, and the 
two Eountrees returned to college in October, 1881, and initiated 
George M. Brown, '84, and William Weaver Turner, '85 (deceased 
1912) ; John Thaddeus Lofton, '84, affiliated from Mercer Iota. 
Brown and Turner quit college at Christmas on account of ill 
health, and Stephens left in the spring. 

On April 5, 1882, occurred one of the most distressing incidents 
in the history of the chapter. Brothers J. B. and W. J. Eoun- 
tree were walking by the courthouse when they were grossly in- 
sulted and assaulted by a negro, and in the struggle which en- 
sued W. J. Eountree was shot and fatally wounded. This event 
caused great excitement in Athens and throughout the whole 
State. It was with difficulty that the people could be re- 
strained from lynching the negro, and it was also at one time 
feared that a negro mob would make an attack upon the student 
body. The trial resulted in sending the negro to the penitentiary 
for ten years, for assault with intent to murder. Eountree was 
much beloved by all who knew him, and for several years the day 
of his death was observed by the chapter with appropriate cere- 
monies. The subsequent retirement of J. B. Eountree now re- 
duced the membership to six. 

Washington was anniversarian of the Phi Kappa society this 
year, and Stephens captain of the prize company. At commence- 
ment Dunson, Stanley, Pharr and Washington graduated. This 
would have left only two men, Lofton and Milner, to return to 
college the next year, had not the chapter initiated John Greene 
Walker, '84, who became a member in July, 1882, and proved a 
valuable acquisition. 

The reduced condition of the chapter at this time was due 
not only to the unfortunate losses which have been enumerated, 

33 



but to its determination to keep up the standard of quality at 
all costs. Among the chapter ^s officers this year Washington 
was ^^ critic/^ or in Southern order lingo, ^^ curator umbrae '^ 
(curator of the shadow), so-called because his seat was so ar- 
ranged that he sat in the shadow made by the presiding officer. 
The office of curator, a relic of the Southern order, was not 
abolished until 1885. Washington and Pharr were delegates to 
the convention of '82 in Atlanta, at which time Heury Grady 
was chosen Grand Alpha. 

The session of 1882-^83 opened very dismally for Eta. Walker 
and Turner, who had been in college only a short while for the 
previous session, were the only members to return, and had it 
not been for their indomitable perseverance and energy, together 
with the previous reputation of the chapter, its high social stand- 
ing, and the character of its alumni, Eta might have failed alto- 
gether at this time to recover itself. All the fraternities were 
then at a very low ebb in point of numbers, except S. A. E., 
which had eighteen members. K. A. had five. Phi Delta Theta 
only four, and A. T. O. six. 

But by the introduction of nine new men to the secrecy of Chi 
Phi, its quota was brought up to eleven. These were William 
McKinley Cobb, Madison Gartrell Nicholson, William Brooke and 
Clarence Joseph Chappell, of the class of '86; John Eobinson 
Steele, Grant Hamilton Prey (who died in New York City, Janu- 
ary 3, 1899, of tropic cancer trouble, which he contracted in 
British Guinea, South America, while prospecting there as a civil 
engineer), William Blake Weaver and Eugene Muse Mitchell, of 
the class of '85, and William Josiah Dobbs, '84 (deceased 1904). 
The Athens alumni, especially E. G. Taylor, gave much assistance 
at this time by their enthusiasm and efforts. After Christmas 
Lofton and Stanley re-entered college, and Sanders McDaniel and 
George Cowan Selman, both '86, were initiated. 

During the whole of this year the chapter was heavily burdened 
by a large debt. After paying as much of it as it could. Brother 
Turner succeeded in raising all but twenty-five dollars among 
the alumni in Atlanta, which had then grown to be a Chi Phi 
stronghold. At commencement Henry Grady made the chapter a

present of a check covering this amount, which relieved the bur- 
den. Eta had one graduate this year, Lofton, A.B. 

Brooke, Chappell, Cobb, McDaniel, Mitchell, Nicholson, Selman, 
Turner and Walker returned to college in October, 1883, and the 
following new men were initiated: 1886, John William Fain (de- 
ceased, 1892), John William Grant and John Marshall Slaton; 
1887, Middleton Pope Barrow, Charles Frank Eice, Howell Cobb 
(deceased 1897), Thomas Eeade Rootes Cobb (deceased 1898), 
and Frank Cochran Block (deceased 1907). College politics ran 
high in these days, particularly in the elections of the anniversar- 
ians. Heretofore Eta had cliqued with various fraternities, but 
this year the chapter withheld from all combinations, and allowed 
each man to vote as he saw fit. 

In the fall of '83 the club decided to move from its uncom- 
fortable quarters on Clayton street. Brother Billups Phinizy 
fitted up a suite of three rooms on Broad street, and rented it 
to the chapter at a moderate sum. The suite consisted of an ante- 
room, a large meeting hall, and a room for the regular and other 
effects of the chapter, and was decidedly the best of any fra- 
ternity at the university. The removal occurred at midnight, the 
chief of police having ordered the street lamps lowered so the 
strange procession could not easily be observed. 

At commencement the chapter gave one of the most elegant 
banquets in its history, at the residence of Mr. Hugh Taylor, 
under the auspices of Brother R. G. Taylor. It was on this 
occasion that Brother Meldrim presented us with the life-size por- 
trait of himself which at present adorns our parlors. Walker was 
the only graduate, but took two degrees, B.E. and B.Agr., and 
stood first in each course. The chapter stood well in every de- 
partment of college life. In fact this was one of her most suc- 
cessful years. Independence Grove (Theta), Grand Delta, visited 
the chapter during the session. The chapter was represented in 
the Albany convention of 1883 by Brother H. Y. Washington. 

The attendance at Georgia in '84- '85 was not as large as usual, 
and good Chi Phi material was rare. Though thirteen old men 
returned, only four new ones were added. These were Albert 
Gordon Cassels and Robert Franklin Cassels, of '86; Willis Justus 
Milner, '87, and Joseph Emerson Boston, '88. Hampton Stewart 

37 



Jones, '87, aflS.liated from Gamma. Eivalry for chapter offices 
caused serious dissension amongst some of the brothers this year, 
which all but resulted disastrously for Eta. But thanks to that 
kind fortune which has continually overshadowed her, the storm 
passed, and peace was restored. Mitchell and Turner graduated 
at commencement, the former taking first honor in the B.Sc. course, 
and the latter third honor in the A.B. course. 

Ten men came back in October, 1885, and the following became 
members: Alexander Stephens Hopkins, '86 (deceased 1890); 
Nash Rose Broyles, Lucian Lamar Knight, Francis Wayland 
Wright (deceased 1907), Edwin Oakley Stanton (deceased 1913), 
and Lawrence Julian Fleming, of '88; and Louis Alfred Fleming, 
'89 (deceased). Louis Delaware Pace, '87, affiliated from Gamma 
and Eugene Mitchell returned to take law. At the beginning of 
the year all the Greek letter societies signed an agreement not 
to enter into any political combinations during the session. A 
previous compact had been made twelve months before, but not 
kept by all. There is no record of faithlessness this year. During 
the session the clubrooms caught fire and did serious damage to 
the furniture, but did not destroy any of the valuable records. 
New quarters were found on Clayton street. Brother Rice repre- 
sented Eta at the annual convention in New York in November, 
1885, when a duplicate charter was granted, the chapter having 
been without a charter since 1874. Many thanks are due the 
Grand Alpha, Henry Stockbridge, for his aid in this matter. On 
April 22, 1886, Eta celebrated her nineteenth anniversary with 
literary exercises. Brother Mitchell being the orator of the 
occasion. The date was a mistake, as was afterw^ards shown in 
Brother Weaver's article on the origin of the chapter. The fol- 
lowing received diplomas this year: Slaton, A.M., first honor and 
permanent class president; Fain, A.M. and second honor; Mc- 
Daniel, A.B. ; Selman, A.B. ; R. ¥. Cassels, Ph.B. ; Grant, B.Ch.Sc, 
and Mitchell, LL.B. McDaniel and Rice represented Chi Phi on 
the college annual. Pandora, the first volume of which appeared at 
commencement. 

Rice, Broyles, Boston, Knight, tetanton, Wright and L. A. Flem- 
ing returned in October, 1886, and initiated: Warren Waldo Mar- 
tin, William Hayes Pope (deceased 1916), Caleb Riley Tate

(deceased 1888), and Paul Semmes Black, of the class of ^89; 
Thomas Jefferson Thornton and Noel Lamar Poullain, of the 
class of '90; and Franklin Elmore Twitty, Law, '87. T. R. R. 
Cobb returned in December. The chapter rooms were again moved 
in November. Rice was editor-in-chief of the Pandora. Twitty 
graduated LL.B. Austin L. McRae, '81, represented the chapter 
at the '86 convention in Louisville. 

The year '87- '88 is recorded by the Zeta, W. H. Pope, as being 
one of the most brilliant in Eta's history. The personnel of its 
members was never better, and enthusiasm for the scarlet and 
blue never ran higher. In the capture of college honors of all 
kinds, scholastic, oratorical, athletic and social, Chi Phi was 
above competition. The old men were Broyles, Boston, Knight, 
Wright, Black, Tate, Pope, Poullain and Thornton; the new 
ones, Arnold Broyles, law '88; James McFadden Gaston, '89; 
William D. Ellis, Jr., Daniel Connally Lyle and Alfred Shorter 
Harper (deceased 1898), of the class of '90, and Benjamin Yan- 
cey Harris, '91. Chancellor Mell, under whom the college had 
witnessed great improvement, died in January, 1888, and was 
succeeded in February, 1889, by Dr. William E. Boggs. Col. L. H. 
Charbonnier, professor of physics, acted as chancellor in the in- 
terim. To enumerate all the honors taken by Eta this year would 
consume too much space. A few may be mentioned. Four of the 
eighteen editors and one of the two business managers of the 
Reporter y the weekly periodical, were Chi Phis; we had two of 
the six champion debaters, Nash Broyles and Pope; the former 
was also anniversarian of Phi Kappa; one of the two debaters' 
medals was won by Lucian Knight, in a speech which the Augusta 
Chronicle pronounced *^ worthy of a congressman," while the 
same brother was chosen to deliver, in behalf of the students, 
the funeral memorial oration upon Chancellor Mell. On field day 
Eta showed its prominence in athletics by winning far more 
prizes than any other fraternity. Arnold Broyles, president of 
the athletic association, who was the finest athlete Georgia had 
seen in years, won four first prizes, while three other brothers 
won five other prizes. 

The chapter, collectively and individually, devoted a great deal 
of attention to the young ladies at this time, and there was 

41 



spirited rivalry between the fraternities as to which could claim 
the largest number of select fair adherents. These tried to outdo 
each other in making banners and cushions and other decorations 
for the chapter rooms, while the fraternities reciprocated with 
much candy and fruit and many flowers and gallant attentions. 
Eta presented one of its most loyal ^ ' sisters ' ' with a $40 Chi Phi 
pin. In this feature of fraternity life, so frowned down by the 
fraternity today, Eta was first, as in all else. But this glorious 
year was destined to a sad ending. On July 1, 1888, Brother 
*^Cale'' Tate died at his home in North Georgia. He was one 
of the most beloved members of the chapter, and a young man 
full of promise for the future. His death, and the death of a 
prominent member of another fraternity at about the same time, 
made a gloomy affair of an elaborately planned commencement. 
Brother Eice went to the '87 convention in Philadelphia. The 
graduates of '88 were Boston, ]Nash Broyles and Knight, A.B., 
Wright, Ph.B., and Arnold Broyles, LL.B. 

Nine brothers returned to college the following fall, and nine 
were made brothers : Philip Dudley Youngblood, Albert Demarest 
Boyleston, John Houser Boston and Thomas Swift Felder, all '91 ; 
and James Banks Nevin, Frank Adgate Lipscomb, Munro Good- 
win Bearing, Edwin Booth Salisbury and Joseph Hill Salisbury 
(deceased 1913), all '92. This gave Eta a fine chapter of eigh- 
teen men, which was about its normal number. A chapter house had 
been discussed for many years, but this year the matter began 
to assume more definite shape, so much so that a committee con- 
sisting of Boston, Pope and Black was appointed to solicit sub- 
seriptions from the alumni. Something over a hundred dollars 
was raised, but was expended later in refurnishing clubrooms, 
the chances for a chapter house seeming so remote. Pope repre- 
sented Eta this year in a conference of the fraternities held to 
discuss the advisability of not initiating new members until they 
had been in college one year. All the clubs appeared to favor 
this idea, but no binding action was taken in the matter. Pope 
graduated at commencement, '89, A. M., being this year anniver- 
sarian of the Demosthenian society; Gaston, A.M.; Black, Ph.B.,

and Nash Broyles and T. R. R. Cobb, LL.B., the last having re- 
entered college this term for this degree. Harper was a delegate 
to the Richmond convention in ^88. 

The year 1889- '90 was made memorable by several events. The 
chapter moved to rooms over Talmadge's hardware store on Clay- 
ton street, which, with various changes and additions, continued 
to be Eta's home until 1897, when the chapter house became a 
reality. The publication of an article on ''The Initiation of 
Non-Collegians, ' ' in the Chi Phi Quarterly for July, 1889, written 
by Brother W. H. Pope (then tutor in the university), aroused the 
wrath of the members of the Beta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 
whom Pope was attacking primarily, and who were undeniably 
guilty of the charges preferred. JS. A. E. demanded a retraction, 
which was not made, whereupon one of their number made a 
personal attack on Pope, but before either had worsted the other, 
they were separated. Thereafter followed an extensive correspon- 
dence between the two fraternities, in which Chi Phi was repre- 
sented by Brother W. D. Ellis, and S. A. E. by Mr. John D. Little. 
Eta formally endorsed as a chapter Pope's article, and at the 
request of Beta chapter of S. A. E. named a champion to defend 
the honor of Chi Phi against the insult which she considered Beta 
had heaped upon her in denying the truth of what she had en- 
dorsed. As this champion happened to be Brother Dudley Young- 
blood, who was perhaps the best athlete in college, Beta refused 
to send a champion to fight him except with pistols, and requested 
Eta to choose some one else. Pope was very eager to be chosen, 
but the lot fell on another. At about this time the S. A. E.'s 
finally decided that their ''code of morality'' would not admit 
of their furnishing the satisfaction demanded by the Chi Phis. 
And so the controversy came to a close by the statements in the 
Quarterly remaining unretracted, the offers of Eta to give satis- 
faction to S. A. E. remaining open, and the demand by Eta for 
satisfaction remaining unsatisfied. This affair was the topic of 
the day in Athens, and was given publicity by the press. 

As a result of this quarrel, and also of another one in which 
the chapter was involved at this time with Kappa Alpha, the 
faculty required of Chi Phi, S. A. E. and Kappa Alpha a pledge 
that they would hold no more meetings until permission was given. 

45 



A committee of three was allowed to carry on the business of the 
chapter during this time. The committee was Pope, Ellis and 
Poullain. The suspension lasted from December 1, 1889, to April 
19, 1890, when regular meetings were resumed. One meeting was 
granted between these dates, on January 11, 1890, to allow the 
chapter to hold exercises in memory of Henry Grady, who died 
December 23, 1889. The initiates of this session were Eugene 
Eobert Black, Lowndes Calhoun, William Arnold Hemphill, Jr., 
James Frederick Lewis and Samuel Hale Sibley, of the class of 
^92; and Evan Park Howell, Jr., and Walter Henry Bishop, of 
the class of ^93. The graduates were: Ellis and Poullain, A.B., 
and Harper, Ph.B. Brother C. F. Eice represented Eta at the 
convention held in Washington in ^89. 

Nothing of special note occurred during the session of 1890-^91. 
The chapter was in splendid condition in every respect. Perfect 
harmony reigned throughout the year. The brothers were enthus- 
iastic about Chi Phi, and took much interest in the regular Satur- 
day night meetings. The literary duties, consisting of an essay, 
a reading and an oration, were faithfully performed. The next 
year a declamation was substituted for the oration, and in 1893 
this feature of the program was omitted. Initiated during the 
year were William Buckingham Armstrong, '94 (deceased 1909) ; 
George Hillyer, Jr., '93; Charles Richard Nisbet, '93; William 
Rutherford Lipscomb, '94; Benjamin Broadus Steedly, '94; Boy- 
kin Goldsby Smith, '93 (deceased 1913), Henry Woodfin Grady, 
Jr., '94; and Gordon Forrest Mitchell, Law, '91. Clement W. 
Evans, '93 (deceased 1916), was transferred from Gamma. The 
chapter lost by graduation J. H. Boston and Boyleston, A.B., 
Felder, Ph.B., and Gordon Mitchell, B.L. Brother Park Howell 
was a delegate to the Baltimore convention in 1890. 

'91- '92 opened with the initiation of a large number of de- 
sirable men. These were Paul Lamar Fleming, '94, and Albert 
Gallatin Foster, John Hill, Jr., Eugene Edward Murphey, Robert 
Diedrich Curry, Robert Archibald Ridley and Willis Alston Haw- 
kins, of the class of '95. After Christmas Walter Alexander 
Harris, '95, joined the chapter. The alumni living in Atlanta and 
other neighboring cities made frequent visits to Eta, as they 
do today. These visits were always beneficial, not only in im-

parting fresh enthusiasm to the active members, but in helping 
them capture new Chi Phis. The members of Eta at this time 
possessed plenty of enthusiasm, but the attendance at meetings, 
as the minutes show, was sometimes very slim, and consequently 
the fines many. Four brothers graduated with A.B. at com- 
mencement: Sibley, first honor; Lewis, fourth honor; Eugene 
Black and Dudley Youngblood. Sibley and Lewis represented 
Eta at the Atlanta convention. Lewis was editor-in-chief of the 
Pandora, Howell was quarter-back on the football team; Foster, 
pitcher on the baseball team. 

Chi Phi's strength in Atlanta was particularly emphasized in 
the fall of 1892 when Eta corraled a fine squad of the Gate City's 
most representative youngsters. They were James Henry Porter, 
Jr., and Edward Emmett Dougherty, of the class of '95; and 
James LaFayette Dickey, Jr., Eobert Waight Fuller, Williams Mc- 
Carthy, and Holcomb Bacon (deceased 1907), of the class of '96. 
The other initiates were: Osborne Brevard Nisbet, '95 (deceased 
1915), Moses Guy ton, '95, of Florida, and Eichard Stuart Hunter, 
'96, of Virginia. Brothers W. H. Pope, Charlie Eice and Eugene 
Mitchell lent valuable aid during this rushing season. The chap- 
ter was greatly strengthened by the return of Sam Sibley to take 
law. The refurnishing of the club rooms and dance hall this 
year gave Chi Phi decidedly the handsomest and most comfortable 
quarters of any in college, and brought us congratulations from 
all sides. Brother George Hillyer, Jr., who held so many posi- 
tions of trust during his college career, received his A.B. at this 
commencement, Sam Sibley took B.L. with first honor. The 
Thalians, the dramatic club of the university, which owes its 
origin largely to the efforts of Brothers Hillyer, Paul Fleming and 
Bacon, and in which Chi Phis have always continued to take a 
conspicuous part, gave its first performance in March, 1893. 
Brother Chas. E. Msbet was anniversarian of the Demosthenian 
society. Sibley and Henry Grady represented us at the New York 
convention, at which Charlie Eice was Alpha. 

To take a glance at the successes of some of Eta's sons of the 
period from 1878 to 1893, we find J. T. Newton assistant com- 
missioner of patents at Washington; Irby Dunklin, judge of the 
superior court in Fort Worth, Texas; Evans, superintendent of 

49 



public schools in Augusta; McKae, director of the Missouri School 
of Mines and Metallurgy; Billups Phinizy, president of the South- 
ern Mutual Fire Insurance Co., in Athens. Brooke is a major 
in the regular army; L. J. Fleming is a captain of cavalry; W. A. 
Harris was a major in the Spanish-American war of 1898, and is 
now brigadier-general of the National Guard of Georgia. ^ ' Jack ' ' 
Slaton has been speaker of the State house of representatives and 
president of the State senate, and was governor from 1913 to 
1915. John Grant is a prominent capitalist of Atlanta; Arnold 
Broyles has been clerk of the Fulton superior court for many 
years; Nash Broyles is judge of the court of appeals; Lucian 
Knight, author and orator, is State historian and compiler of 
records ; Paul Black is attorney in the oflS.ce of the attorney-general 
at Washington; T. S. Felder has been State attorney-general; 
Nevin is editor of the Atlanta Georgian. Prominent in the legal 
profession, and not previously named, are Eugene E. Black, Sr., 
famous as a speaker; Sanders McDaniel, Judge Sam Sibley, and 
Eugene Mitchell. George Hillyer holds a responsible position in 
the engineering department of the Southern railway; Charlie 
Nisbet is a Presbyterian pastor of note in Kansas City; Ed 
Dougherty is one of the very few American graduates of the 
famous Beaux Arts of Paris, and has achieved fame as an archi- 
tect. In medicine, Jim Gaston as a medical missionary, Ben 
Steedly at Spartanburg, and * ^ Larry ^' Murphey at Augusta, have 
been eminently successful. 

This list does not pretend to mention all the alumni of these 
years whose achievements entitle them to especial notice, nor to 
mention all the distinctions of those brothers who are named. 
A complete catalogue of these things properly belongs in the 
Begister, Only a few examples are given to show how well the 
members of Eta chapter have acquitted themselves in the struggle 
for fame and fortune. After all, it is not alone by the accumu- 
lation of offices and wealth we wish Chi Phis to be judged, but by 
character. With this criterion, Eta also presents an array of con- 
spicuous examples. One of the most remarkable instances among 
our alumni of victory against great odds was that of Brother 
W. H. Pope, ^89. Driven west by ill health a few years after 
beginning the practice of law in Atlanta, he soon rose to the 

50 



position of assistant attorney-general of New Mexico, and was 
secretary of the commission that built the new territorial capitol. 
In 1902 he was appointed judge of the Court of First Instance 
in the Philippine Islands. His health again giving away, he re- 
turned to New Mexico a year later, and rose to the position of 
United States District Judge, which he held at the time of his 
death in 1916. But Brother Pope commends himself to Eta not 
alone for his triumphs in his profession, but also for his inspiring 
and unceasing enthusiasm and efforts for the scarlet and blue, 
in college and out. There are many alumni of this era who, for 
their continued loyalty and hard work and wise counsels for 
the fraternity, deserve a niche in Eta's hall of fame. First of 
these is Chas. F. Kice, whose devotion to Chi Phi endures forever. 
There was no more zealous frat. man in Athens than he when he 
was there, and there has not been since. That he has attended 
many conventions as representative of the chapter, and been 
Alpha of several, and has been a valuable member of the board 
of directors of the Eta Trust Association ever since it was organ- 
ized, well attests the interest he feels. He merits an especial 
tribute for his work on the Register of 1890. Austin L. McRae, 
John G. Walker, Eugene Mitchell, Nash Broyles, Will Ellis and 
the lamented Alf . Harper are worthy of the highest esteem from 
Eta for their activities in her behalf, as are J. M. Slaton, first 
president of the Atlanta Alumni Association, and Joe Boston, 
who has served the Trust Association so well. Lucian Knight 
has honored us much with his pen and tongue. Sam Sibley is 
one of the truest Chi Phis that ever came from Eta. In being 
chosen Grand Gamma in 1895-^96, George Hillyer reflected credit 
on his mother chapter. ^ ' Wat. ^ ' Harris has been one of our most 
energetic workers; Brevard Nisbet was one of the best "spik- 
ers ' ' in the business, and Holcombe Bacon rendered Eta invaluable 
services.

CHAPTER III. The Beginning of a Modern College. 

1893-1907. 

With the permanent establishment of inter-collegiate athletics 
in 1893, the University of Georgia began a new and brighter 
era. We may start a fresh chapter at this point, since the men 
connected with Eta from about this time forward have continued 
to wield direct influence over it up to the present year. The old 
members to return in the autumn of '93 were Armstrong and 
Paul Fleming, of '94; Murphey, R. A. Ridley, W. A. Harris, 
Dougherty, Porter, O. B. Nisbet and Guyton, of '95; and Hol- 
combe Bacon and Stuart Hunter, of '96. The new initiates of 
the session were Frank Hamilton Dearing and Haywood Shep- 
herd Hansen, of '96; and Frank Kells Boland, Frank Lamar 
Fleming, Perry Nance Hill, Fortune Chisom Ferrell, James Hart 
Sibley, Steve Willis Thornton and Malvern Halsey, of '97. We 
lost only one man who was invited to join. This was a happy 
and successful year in every respect. Paul Fleming received his 
A.B., having been manager of the 'varsity football team of '93, 
business manager of the Pandora of '94, and anniversarian of 
Phi Kappa. Armstrong was quarter-back on the 'varsity. Arm- 
strong and Bacon went to the '93 Washington convention, over 
which Brother Rice presided. 

The year 1894- '95 saw Eta again leading all the fraternities 
at Georgia. Good work was done during the summer preceding, 
and during the rushing season at the opening of college. The 
following new additions were made: Charles Harmon Black, John 
Francis Ridley, William Walton Clarke, Paul Goldsmith, Frank 
Rice Mitchell, Thomas Nisbet Tinsley, all of the class of '98. 
Tinsley was transferred to Gamma immediately after his initia- 
tion, and Joseph Brown Connally, '96, joined us from Gamma. 
The meetings were very lively during this term, the new chapter 
by-laws, the Kappa matter and a chapter house being the leading 
topics under discussion. In January we sustained a severe loss 
in Brother Bacon's withdrawal from college. Frank Fleming and

George Hillyer represented Eta in the convention in New York 
in 1894. Brother Connally was sent to the special convention in 
New York in March, 1895, instructed to vote against Kappa 
(Brown University) and Chi (Ohio Wesleyan University) chap- 
ters, while in May the chapter cast its vote against Kappa. Eta^s 
picnic at Mitchell's bridge this spring was pronounced by all one 
of the most enjoyable entertainments ever given in Athens. Over 
one hundred guests were present. At commencement Chi Phi took 
the best stand in the senior class that it had taken in many years. 
The graduates were Harris, Guyton, Porter, Nisbet, E. A. Ridley 
and Dougherty, the first four standing one, two, three and five, 
respectively, in a large class. Harris was editor-in-chief of the 
Pandora and The Bed and Black this year. Murphey was half- 
back on the Varsity of '94. Dougherty won many field-day events 
and was noted for his talent in art and music. 

Eta was larger in '95- '96 than ever before, the total member- 
ship for the year being thirty, although not over twenty-eight 
were present at one time. Two-thirds of the whole chapter were 
Atlanta men. The new brothers were Frederick Crisp, '97 (de- 
ceased 1911), who represented a signal victory snatched from our 
strongest competitor, S. A. E.; Benjamin Cudworth Yancey, 
Thomas Augustus Whitaker and Daniel Greenwood Hughes, Jr., 
'98 (deceased 1916) ; Junius Godolphin Oglesby, Jr., Arthur and 
Burton Clarke, John Meador Goldsmith (deceased 1909), William 
Lowry Porter, Edwin Bawson Johnson, Gabriel Wharton Mitchell, 
James Smith Dougherty, Hugh Hines Harris (deceased 1909), and 
Eugene Ely Thornton, of '99; Arminius Wright and William John- 
son McBride, Law '96. Brother Fred. J. Buice, '97, affiliated 
from Gamma, and two alumni were welcomed back: W. A. Harris 
and J. H. Porter, to take law. The former was sent to the con- 
vention in New York, instructed to vote against taking badges 
off women. This was a matter that had provoked much discus- 
sion in our lodge room for many years. Holcombe Bacon was 
Alpha of this convention. Enthusiasm for the fraternity ran high 
among the brothers this year, but they were neglectful of college 
duties, in consequence of which a large number of the thirty left 
before commencement. The chapter was probably more extrava- 
gant than at any time in its history, and was lavish in its social 



entertainments. Over one hundred dollars was expended on bas- 
kets of flowers, and fruit and candy for our ^^ sisters ^^ at the 
Lucy Cobb institute. The principal of this school wisely forbade 
the continuance of this custom the next year. The new regulation 
pins first appeared early in 1896. J. S. Dougherty was the first 
Eta man to possess one. The lodge room was removed into the 
room adjoining, giving us an ante-room, which the chapter had 
not had before for several years. On May 23, 1896, Eta adopted 
the new constitution of the fraternity. The graduates at com- 
mencement were Hansell, A.B., Arminius Wright and W. A. Harris, 
B.L. Brother J. H. Porter went to Cornell in February to complete 
his law studies. Eta held her own in college honors ; Harris led the 
law class and was anniversarian of Phi Kappa; on the Varsity 
football team, Terrell was left end, Connally left guard, and Wal- 
ton Clarke right end, as he had been the year before. Poland was 
manager of the Varsity baseball teams of ^95 and '96; Walton 
Clarke was shortstop in '96. 

The session of 1896-^97 was one of peace and prosperity for Chi 
Phi in Athens. Added to the chapter were Alexander Pratt 
Adams, John Thomas Dennis, Sr. and Jr., Koy Dennis Jenkins 
and James Beall Eidley, of /99, Ferdinand Phinizy Calhoun, 1900, 
and Albert Edward Thornton, Jr., '98 (deceased 1910). This 
made a congenial club of twenty men, who well represented the 
scarlet and blue in the affairs of Georgia. Frank Fleming was 
chosen one of the editors-in-chief of the Pandora, but resigned. 
He graduated B.L. Boland received A.B., and was elected perma- 
nent president of the class of '97. Brother Dougherty played end 
and first base on the teams. Black, who won many field events, 
was captain of the track team, and editor-in-chief of The Bed 
and BlacJc, Eta was not represented at the Congress of '96. 

In the fall of 1897 the chapter at last realized its long-cherished 
hope of a chapter house. The Cobb residence on Hill street was 
leased, and well suited the purpose. Thirteen of the twenty active 
members lived here, and the venture was crowned with success. 
After a hot campaign, the following new men joined the fratern- 
ity: John Charles Wheatley, '99, and Eobert Berrien Eidley, Jr., 
John Banks, Frank Kelly McCutchen, James Force Hart, Charles 
du Bignon and Everard Dugas Eichardson, of the class of '01.

The capture of duBignon from the S. A. E.'s represents one of 
the greatest victories in the history of our spiking. Brother Iver- 
son Brooks Clark, ^99, affiliated from Xi chapter. Frank Mitchell 
was manager of the football team, of which Dougherty, Arthur 
Clarke and Brooks Clark were members. A successful season was 
brought to a tragic close at its height by the death of Von Gam- 
mon, of the Georgia eleven, in the game with the University of 
Virginia. Dougherty was president of the athletic association and 
was chosen captain of the football team of ^98, but being unfairly 
treated in the election, resigned. Du Bignon represented Eta on 
the baseball team. The Sphinx, a club to which only the most 
prominent men in college are elected, was organized this year. 
In this honorary organization, Chi Phis have always been con- 
spicuous. Of the eighteen alumni of the university chosen honor- 
ary members at the time the club came into existence, six arj Chi 
Phis. Charlie Black went to the '97 congress in New York. At 
commencement, Black and B. C. Yancey graduated A.B., and 
Dearing, B.S. 

The attendance at Georgia in '98- '99 was considerably below 
normal in numbers, but Eta, as usual, got her pick of the new 
men. These were: Eobert Patterson Yancey, '01 (deceased 1910), 
Jackson Wilbur Burnett, 1900, Logan Clarke, Sterling Hamilton 
Blackshear, and Harry Bell Peak, of '02. Brothers Eobert Jesse 
Travis and Henry Harris Little (deceased 1916), came over from 
Gamma to take the law course, and B. C. Yancey returned for the 
same purpose. This gave a chapter of fifteen men, but what 
Eta lacked in numbers, it made up in enthusiasm, and had a good 
year. With only six men living in the chapter house, the club 
soon found itself in debt, but a subscription of one hundred dol- 
lars from the Atlanta alumni put it on its feet again. Graduated 
this session: Adams, A.B., and Yancey, Travis and Little, B.L. 
Calhoun represented Eta at the congress. Adams was the recipient 
of many honors during his college career; among others, twice 
president of the athletic association, manager of the baseball team 
of '99, editor-in-chief of the Pandora and The Bed and BlacTc. Du 
Bignon and McCutchen played on the 'varsity football team. 

In 1899 Chancellor Boggs, under whom the University of Geor- 
gia had enjoyed a decade of progress, resigned, and was succeeded 

59 



by Walter B. Hill, the first alumnus ever to hold the position. 
Brother Hill's succession to the head of his alma mater was hailed 
with delight, not only by Eta and her alumni, but by the entire 
alumni of the institution as well. That our hope and expectations 
were well founded, the succeeding years well testified. It was 
pleasing to note that the chancellor exhibited a keen interest in 
the affairs of Eta upon his return to Athens. The chapter opened 
this session with only six old men, but by one of the most brilliant 
rushing seasons in its experience, brought the membership up to 
nineteen. The new brothers were: Mitchell King (deceased 1906) 
and Henry Dawson Burkes, of ^02; Francis Morris Ridley, Jr., 
Alfred Austell Thornton (deceased 1913), Betram Eugene Dekle, 
John Durham Wing, Jr., Andrew Calhoun, Hugh McDaniel Scott, 
Jr., and Henry Fort Scott, Francis Marion Farley, Eugene Her- 
bert Clay and Benjamin Henry Barrow, all of the class of '03; 
and Thompson Haygood Gooding, of the law class of 1900. 
Brother J. B. Ridley was welcomed back to take law. It is in- 
teresting to observe how many sons of Chi Phis have been initiated 
by Eta chapter in recent years, and particularly sons of Eta 
Chi Phis. They have increased rapidly in numbers ever since 
the initiation of Henry Grady, Jr., in 1890. In the present dele- 
gation of freshmen, three were sons of old members of Eta, Frank 
Ridley, Thornton and Barrow, while the Scott brothers were sons 
of Dr. H. F. Scott, Oglethorpe, Lambda, '72. Within a few 
years we shall see a third generation of Chi Phis springing up at 
Eta.* 

The happiness of this golden year was marred by a single 
incident. Thompson Haygood Gooding, having been convicted of 
several flagrant acts of dishonesty, was suspended from the chap- 
ter in March, 1900, and his case referred to the congress of 1900, 
by which he was expelled from the fraternity. Gooding is the 
first member of Eta chapter ever to be dismissed from the fra- 
ternity, and as the Zeta of that year fervently remarks, * * God 
grant that he be the last ! ' ' 

Phinizy Calhoun, Austell Thornton and Charles du Bignon at- 
tended the 1899 New York Congress and succeeded in having At-

lanta chosen the meeting place for the following year. Eta was 
in a flourishing condition during this session; there were no 
debts and the chapter house continued to work well. In the spring 
the first chapter Becord was published, and proved to be a valua- 
ble innovation. We lost by graduation Phinizy Calhoun, A.B., 
and J. B. Eidley, B.L. McCutchen and Gooding represented us 
on the N^arsity football aggregation and Blackshear and Frank 
Eidley on the baseball team. Although the charter of the uni- 
versity was granted in 1785, this commencement marked the hun- 
dredth year of its actual operation, and was celebrated with ap- 
propriate ceremonies. In his account of the event, in the Year 
Book of 1901, Brother Pratt Adams thus speaks of the part 
taken by the alumni of Eta and other Chi Phis: 

^^ Alumni Day was by all conceded to be the 'big' day of the 
commencement. As indicating in an unmistakable manner what 
a prominent part in the University Centennial Chi Phi took, I 
mention her participation in the exercises of that day. On the 
stage where all the officials of the university were sitting were the 
following Chi Phis: With the Board of Trustees, Hon. N. E. 
Harris, Hon. P. W. Meldrim, Judge Lewis of the Supreme Court 
of Georgia, Judge Hamilton McWhorter, and Hon. S. B. Adams, 
one-fourth of the entire board; Chancellor Hill, Dr. White, presi- 
dent of the scientific department, and Prof. Barrow, dean of 
the faculty, admittedly the three most prominent members of the 
faculty; President Lyman Hall, head of the department of the 
university located at Atlanta, and President Stewart of the de- 
partment at Dahlonega; the president of the Alumni Society and 
master of ceremonies, Hon. P. W. Meldrim; and to cap the climax, 
the orator of the day, Hon. Emory Speer, whose magnificent ad- 
dress thrilled the immense crowd that had gathered to hear him.'' 

In September, 1900, Eta moved into the old Home School build- 
ing, on Prince avenue, one of the largest and handsomest colonial 
hames in the city, which, though somewhat the worse for age, 
made excellent quarters for the chapter for the next four years. 
The lodgeroom was especially well situated. Benjamin Groves 
Swanson, Ealph Meldrim (deceased 1906), son of the founder 
of Eta, Hugh Haralson Gordon, Jr., Paul Eldridge Jett, and 
Gordon Wayne Haines, of the class of '04, were the new initiates. 

63 



Adams and McCutchen returned to take law, and Brother Marion 
Sims Eichardson, '02, affiliated from Gamma. This made a 
splendid chapter of twenty-one men, which undoubtedly had things 
its own way in the affairs of the university. As the Zeta says, 
^^We held all grades of offices from captain of the 1900 football 
eleven (McCutchen) down to chaplain of the freshman class." 
Besides ^\e men on the football team, and three on the baseball 
team, the chapter won distinctions without number in the literary 
societies, on the college periodicals, in the military companies, 
and on the prom, committees. Adams and Banks represented Eta 
at the Atlanta Congress, over which Brother Frank Mitchell pre- 
sided. Mitchell was appointed temporary Grand Zeta in order 
to call this congress to order, and Brother Phinizy Calhoun was 
elected Grand Zeta for the ensuing two years. At commencement, 
Banks, who had been manager of the 1900 baseball team and 
business manager of the Pandora^ graduated A.B., and Adams 
and McCutchen graduated B.L. 

The chapter opened the year 1901- '02 with fifteen old men, in- 
cluding Brothers Eobert Franklin Gross, '03, from Gamma, and 
Cleveland Evins, '05, of Sigma, and initiated six new men: Frank 
Raymond Clark, '04, and Albert Edward Thornton, Jr., Louis 
Dugas McClesky, Jere Wickliffe Goldsmith, Jr., Hinton James 
Baker, and William Johnston Cranston, of the class of '05. In 
all phases of college life Eta continued to take her usual notable 
stand. Ridley was captain of the football team, and elected to 
fill the same position the following fall, an honor never bestowed 
upon any one else. He was also selected for an end on the all- 
Southern eleven of 1901. The anniversary of the birth of the 
chapter, which has not failed of an appropriate celebration in 
years, was this spring observed by a banquet at the Commercial 
Hotel, over which Brother Meldrim, '68, presided as toastmaster. 
Toasts were made by Dr. White, Prof. Barrow, and ^^ Major" 
Frank Mitchell. King, Richardson and Blackshear received their 
diplomas at commencement. Burton Clarke, '99, represented Eta 
at the New York Congress in 1901. 

The chapter of 1902- '03 was greatly strengthened by the influx 
of five of Gamma's best men. These were: George Winship Nun- 
nally, Willis Eugene Ragan, Jr., and Samuel James Crowe, of the 

64 



class of '04; Thomas Whipple Connally, Law '04, and Alexander 
Stephens Clay, Jr., '06. Walter Hunt Cargill, Law '04, who 
had been initiated by Gamma, affiliated from Alpha. The new 
men were : Eobert McCay Dearing, '05, and James Jackson Ragan, 
George Walton Felker, Jr., James Shepherd Thweatt and Carter 
Thweatt, of '06. The transfer of many Gamma men to Eta of 
late years has brought these two chapters into more intimate rela- 
tion than ever before. Brother Connally represented Eta at the 
congress this session. He attended twelve consecutive congresses, 
from 1900 to 1911. The anniversary banquet in April, 1903, was 
attended by more than a score of alumni from a distance. 
'^ Major" Mitchell presided. Chi Phis took a fine stand in all de- 
partments of the university, especially military and athletic. 
McCay Dearing 's work on the track team was phenomenal. Brother 
Hugh Scott graduated at commencement, A.B., after a college 
course of many honors. 

The new Omega chapter of Chi Phi, established at the Georgia 
School of Technology in Atlanta, in 1903, owes its origin to the 
brothers of Eta and Gamma chapters who were then active mem- 
bers, and to the zeal of three alumni of Eta — Frank R. Mitchell, 
'98, A. Pratt Adams, '99, and Phinizy Calhoun, '00.* A number 
of brothers, active members and alumni, went from Atlanta to 
Athens August 2, 1903, to initiate three of the charter members 
of Omega chapter, who were Jesse Howlett Draper, Lindsley Dike- 
man Beach and Meldrim Thomson. During the session of 1903-4 
Eta initiated four other charter members of the new chapter: 
Luther Zeigler Rosser, Jr., William Gilmer Dessau, Howard Elgin 
Parker and Charles Gordon Richards (deceased 1915). 

In the fall of 1903 the following old men returned to Eta: H. E. 
Scott, Jr., Meldrim, ISTunnally, W. E. Ragan, Jr., and Crowe, of 
the class of '04; A. E. Thornton, Jr., McCleskey and McCay Dear- 
ing, of the class of '05; J. J. Ragan, Felker and Carter Thweatt,. 
of the class of '06; T. W. ConnaUy, Law '04. Virlyn Branham 
Moore, of Gamma, joined the law class of '05. The new initiates 
were Alexander Wyly Smith, Jr., Cornelius Jerome Simmons, Jr., 



* Brother Boland, the author of this article, should be added 
to this list. Editor. 

65 



Campbell Wallace and Francis Lyon Hull, of the class of '06; 
Rollin Broughton, '07, and Julian Hartridge, Law, '04. This 
made a good chapter of nineteen men. McClesky, Bearing, Thweatt 
and Hartridge failed to return after Christmas, and Scott and 
Simmons withdrew from college in the spring. The chapter en- 
joyed a pleasant year, and an influential stand in the affairs of 
the college. Scott was captain of Company B and business man- 
ager of The Georgian. Meldrim was captain of Company A, Nun- 
nally, business manager of the Pandora and The Bed and Black, 
and manager of the invincible track men; Crowe and Hartridge, 
subs on the 'varsity football squad; Connally, editor-in-chief of 
The Bed and Black, and permanent president of his class; and 
Moore, a member of all three 'varsity teams. Meldrim, Nunnally, 
and Connally were members of Sphinx. The Eta Becord of this 
year was the best that had appeared. Phinizy Calhoun and Tom 
Connally represented the chapter at the annual congress in New 
York, at which the latter was chosen to succeed the former as 
Grand Zeta, the first time a student still in college had been 
elected to this national office. At commencement Meldrim, Nun- 
nally, W. E. Ragan and Crowe graduated with A.B., and Con- 
nally with B.L. Through some dissatisfaction over the terms of 
the lease on the chapter house, it was given up in June, and Eta 
began the session of 1904- '05 in a new home — the Lipscomb place 
on Milledge avenue. 

The bulk of the preceding pages of Eta's history appeared 
in the Year Book of 1904. The present chapter is now con- 
tinued for two more years, up to the organization of the Eta 
Trust Association. 

The autumn of 1904 saw the chapter beginning another col- 
lege session heavily handicapped by the loss of many good men, 
as several previous autumns had witnessed the same thing. Only five 
old members returned: Moore, '05, Thornton, '05, Eagan, '06, 
Smith, '06, and Broughton, '07. This small band was augmented, 
however, by the return of Hugh Scott, '03, to take law, and Mc- 
Cleskey, former '05. Inspired by stories of the efforts of older 
brothers under similar discouraging circumstances, a lively rush- 
ing season ensued, with the result that seven new names were added 
to the roll: Curtis Lewis Turner and Frank Butner Clay, '07,

and Clarence Hull Dobbs, Jackson Porter Dick, Joseph Ernest 
Lane, Wallace Wingfield (deceased 1909), and Frank Hill Mar- 
tin, ^08. Brothers Jesse Draper and John B. Harris affiliated 
from Omega, bringing the total number to sixteen. Wingfield 
later left college on account of his health. The chapter made up 
in Chi Phi spirit what it lacked in numbers, and enjoyed a suc- 
cessful year. Almost every possible college honor was secured, 
such as president of the athletic association, president of both 
literary societies, two men on the H^arsity football team, three on 
the baseball team, manager of the football team, editor-in-chief 
of the Pandora, captain of one of the military companies, etc. An 
enjoyable banquet was held in the new chapter house, April 15, 
1905, in commemoration of Eta's 38th anniversary. Moore grad- 
uated in law and Thornton, A.B. 

Nine men returned for the year 1905- '06; Hugh Scott, Law '06; 
Bagan and Smith, '06; Broughton, Turner and Clay, '07, and 
Dick, Dobbs and Harris, '08, while Eaiph Meldrim returned to 
enter the senior law class, and Eobert Shumate Parker, Gamma 
'05, matriculated in Law '07. Seven new brothers were initiated: 
Wallace Wood Draper, '08, and Samuel Thurmond Oliver, '08 
(deceased 1909), and John William Baker, John Earle Hartridge, 
Jr., Alexander Eadcliffe MacDonell, Paul Drew Atkinson and 
George Pierce King, Jr., '09. These made a chapter of the nor- 
mal size of eighteen good Chi Phis, but four left during the ses- 
sion. King and Dobbs withdrew from college, and Meldrim and 
Scott successfully stood the bar examination in December. The 
chapter historian states that while this made the membership small, 
the usual number of college honors fell Eta 's way, and the ' * true 
inside fraternity spirit" ran high. This fall the chapter^ moved 
into the very desirable colonial house at the corner of Hancock 
and Pulaski, formerly the Goss Sanitarium. Two great calami- 
ties befell, however — the death of Chancellor Walter Hill, Eta 
'70, at his old home in Macon, December 29, 1905, and the death 
of Ealph Meldrim at his home in Savannah, March 19, 1906. 
Walter Hill must always be considered one of Georgia's greatest 
chancellors on account of the marvelous strides the university made 
under his administration, and since the present chronicle considers 
men largely in their relation to our fraternity, Hill also may be 

69 



looked upon as one of the best Chi Phis Eta chapter ever turned 
out. The death of Meldrim was keenly felt, both because of his 
value as an active member and alumnus of the chaj)ter, and be- 
cause he Avas the only son of our beloved founder, General Peter 
Meldrim.

CHAPTER IV. The First Decade of the Eta Trust Associa- 
tion. 

1907-1917. 

Two other titles might well be chosen for this chapter, ^ * The 
Era of Uncle Dave, ^ ' for instance, since these were the first ten 
years of his service as chancellor, or ^ ^ Tom Connally and His 
Times, ' ' in commemoration of the wonderfully successful work 
this zealous brother has accomplished for Eta. Brother David 
Crenshaw Barrow, Eta ^74, a true and loyal Chi Phi, and a 
worthy successor to his ^^fraf mate, Walter Hill, began his 
chancellorship with the college session of 1906-^07. The charter 
of the Eta Trust Association was granted on June 13, 1907, and 
its first officers were elected this month. While this was the official 
beginning of the E. T. A., the germ had been maturing in Tom 
Connally 's mind ever since his experience with the Omicron Trust 
Association at Yale in 1904-^05, and he himself signed the first 
note to the E. T. A. in 1905. The prime object of the enterprise 
was to erect or purchase a club house for the active chapter. 
What has been accomplished will be shown later. 

Eta for 1906- '07 consisted of twenty-two men during the year, 
although several left college before the close of the session. The 
names of the old brothers who returned are not given in the 
chapter record, but the initiates were: Edward Mitchell Brown 
and Walker Inman Gray, '09, Ealph Ragan, William Stuart 
Witham, William Spencer Connerat, Milton Dargan, Jr., Grady 
Atkinson and Albert Bacon Nicoll, '10, and Boykin Cabell Wright, 
'11. Thomas Farrar Fleming, Gamma, '05, entered Law '08, 
and William Frederick Eve, Jr., Omega, '11, joined the class of 
'10. Samuel Kenny Dick, Jr., '10, was initiated after Christ- 
mas. These men were popular in college and took a prominent 
part in all its activities, including the class room and the literary 
societies. Three of the brothers did good work on the football 
squad. Frank Martin, short-stop on the baseball team, was se- 
lected as an ^^All-Southern" player, and was elected captain of 

71 



the team for the following year, which won the S. I. A. A. champ- 
ionship. A Chi Phi represented Georgia in the debate with 
Washington and Lee University. At commencement Broughton 
graduated A.B., Turner, B.S., and Parker, LL.B. 

Although the chapter had been issuing an annual '^Eta Eecord'' 
since 1900, in accordance with a law of the fraternity, it was not 
until 1907 that a really meritorious number was published and 
sent to the alumni. This little volume, and the volumes for sev- 
eral succeeding years, contained the best arranged and most com- 
plete address lists of the chapter yet published, and contained 
other important matter. The object of such an outlay was to 
stimulate interest in the Trust Association among the alumni, 
and the expense was borne partly by the chapter, but mainly 
by the association. Thus, the labors of Connally and the organ- 
ization he has fathered were bearing their first fruits. 

The Becord of 1908 takes note of the fact that the university 
had been growing at a faster rate than ever before in its history. 
The attendance increased two and a half times during the pre- 
ceding ten years, from 250 to 650. The town of Athens, though 
always beautiful, had become a city of paved streets and fine 
buildings. A modern office building had sprung up, and a $200,- 
000 hotel (Allah be praised!) was in course of construction. The 
new agriculture building, designed by Brother Ed Dougherty, '95, 
and by far the most imposing on the campus, had just been com- 
pleted. 

Twelve men came back in September, 1907, to resume their col- 
lege work. They were Harris, Oliver, Martin and J. P. Dick, ^08 ; 
Fleming, Law '08,; Atkinson, Brown and Gray, '09; MacDonell, 
Eagan, Dargan and S. Dick, '10. Connerat, '10, and Wright, '11, 
did not return until after the holidays. The following new men 
were added, numbered for the first time in the order of their 
initiation into Eta, the number extending back to Peter Meldrim 
as number 1: 342. Edward King, '10, a brother of Mitchell 
King. 343. William Grimes Dancy, '11. 344. Homer Newell 
Arrington, '11. 345. Joseph Emerson Brown, '11. This brother 
was a son of Governor Jos. M. Brown, Lambda (old Oglethorpe 
University), '72, a cousin of the two Bostons of Eta, and of the 
two Connallys, and a nephew of E. A. and G. M. Brown, of Eta.

346. Edwin Warren Moise, ai. 347. William Hill Garrard, Jr., 
'10. 348. Obadiah Warner Hill, '10, a nephew of R. J. Hill, 
Gamma, and a cousin of *^Pat" Martin, Gamma, and Frank Mar- 
tin, Eta. 349. Edwin Baldwin Bullard, '11. 350. Frank Moses 
Liddell, '10. These made a membership of twenty-three, of whom 
only two did not finish the year: Fleming, who withdrew to take 
law at Mercer, and Hill, who left on account of illness. The Eec- 
ord paid Frank Martin a high compliment in referring to his capa- 
ble work in handling the finances of the chapter. At commence- 
ment, J. P. Dick received the B.S. degree, and Harris and Oliver 
the A.B. degree. 

Fourteen men returned to Eta in the fall of 1908: Atkinson 
and Brown, '09; Dargan, Dick, MacDonell, King, Garrard, Lid- 
dell, '10; Conner at, Wright, Dancy, J. E. Brown, Moise, Airing- 
ton, '11. During the year fourteen additions were made to the 
chapter roll, twelve by initiation, and two by affiliation from 
Gamma. The new men were: 351. Young Harris Eraser, '11, 
from Gamma. 352. Thomas Edwin Nott, Jr., '12, son of a Wof- 
ford Chi Phi. 353. Hughes Spalding, Law '10, A.B. from George- 
town University, a brother of Jack Spalding, of Omega chapter. 
354. Harold Charles Hutchens, '11. 355. Brantly Callaway, '12. 
356. John R. Northcutt, '11. 357. Edward Thomas Anderson, '12, 
whose father was a Chi Phi at Mercer, and whose brother was a 
Chi Phi at Emory. 358. Frederick Boone Felker, 12, cousin of 
four Chi Phis. 359. J. H. Kelly, Jr., '11. 360. Richard Wilmer 
Cooksey, '12. 361. William Edward Rhodes, 11, from Gamma 
(deceased 1910). 362. Calvin George, '12. 363. Tate Wright, 
Law '09. 364. Thomas Jackson Woofter, '12. Atkinson and Lid- 
dell left college, and the chapter finished the year with 26 men. 
Honors held by these men this year included everything in the 
category. A wholesome fraternity spirit reigned, and altogether 
it was a glorious year for Chi Phi at old Georgia. The forty-sec- 
ond year of the chapter was fittingly celebrated by a splendid 
banquet at the Georgian Hotel on May 20th, 1909, and a dance 
was given on March 2nd. E. M. Brown, graduated with A.B., 
and Tate Wright with LL.B. The Record of 1909 was dedicated 
to the Chi Phis of the class of 1889, and contained a sketch of 
the seven members written by the lamented Brother ^ ' Billy ' ' 

75 



Pope. Of these seven only three now survive: Paul Black, Dr. 
Jim Gaston and W. W. Martin. The congress of the fraternity 
met in Atlanta in November, 1908, and a number of active Eta 
men were in attendance. Winship Nunnally was chairman of the 
committee of arrangements. 

The new men added during the session of 1909- '10 were: 365. 
Hamilton McWhorter, Jr., '13, a son of Judge Hamilton Mc- 
Whorter, '77. 366. Theodore Sidney Moise, Jr., '13, a brother of 
E. W. Moise, '11. 367. James Kichard Gray, Jr., '13, brother 
of Inman Gray, '09. 368. Frederick George Crandall, '13. 369. 
Jack Watson Lindsey, '13. 370. William Edward Campbell, Jr., 
'13. 371. Julian Lowe Eobinson, '13. 372. Paul McDaniel Felker, 
'13, a relative of Hugh and Fort Scott, Sanders McDaniel, and 
G. W. and F. B. Felker, of Eta. 373. Thomas Oliver Marshall, 
Law '11, an afl&liate from Gamma, who graduated with A.B. from 
Emory College in 1909. 374. Warren Bothwell, '13. 375. Charles 
Olmstead Adams, '11, related to Judge Sam Adams and Pratt 
Adams. 376. Wallace Meyers Kirby, '11. 377. Joseph Gray 
Blount, '13, initiated by Gamma. 378. David Francis Barrow, 
'10, son of Chancellor Barrow, and brother of Ben Barrow. At 
commencement David Barrow graduated with A.B., B.S. In 1911 
he received C.E. and A.M. from Harvard, and in 1913 Ph.D. 
from Harvard. Sam Dick received B.S., Edward King and Alex 
MacDonell, A.B., Garrard received B.S., and Hughes Spalding, 
B.L. 

The year 1910- '11 was a good one for the university in scholar- 
ship, debates and athletes, and Eta reaped its share of honors. 
Moise won first honor and the Khodes scholarship, and Bob Mc- 
Whorter made the All-Southern football and baseball teams, as 
he continued to do for several years. Indeed, it is a well-recog- 
nized fact that McWhorter was the greatest football player who 
ever wore the red and black. The chapter occupied for the year 
a house at the corner of Hull and Dougherty streets. There were 
twenty-three men on the roll this year, seventeen of whom were 
present during 1909- '10. Four new men were initiated, and 
Broughton, who had graduated with A.B., in 1907, and with A.B. 
again at Yale in 1908, returned to take law. Three of the men 
withdrew from college before the end of the year. The initiates

were: 379. Kobert Ligon McWhorter, 'l-t, a son of Judge Mc- 
Whorter, Eta ^77, and a brother of Hamilton McWhorter, Jr., 
Eta, '12. 380. Charles McDonald Brown, ^4, a brother of J. E. 
Brown, '11. 381. Hamilton Crisp Cutts, '14. 382. George Barnes 
Barrett, '14. The graduating class of 1911 was the largest in the 
historv of the institution, forty-six men receiving degrees. Six 
Eta brothers graduated, Adams and Marshall in law, and J. E. 
Brown, Dancy, Moise and Wright with A.B. The military fea- 
ture of the University of Georgia had grown to be an important 
matter at this time, quite different from the recollections of some 
of the older alumni. There were five full companies, a large band, 
two detachments of artillery and a very efficient signal corps. Chi 
Phis always held their proportion of the offices, and were not 
always detained in the ' ' green squad, ' ' as perhaps recalled by 
General Walter A. Harris, Eta '95, of the Georgia National 
Guard. 

When college opened in September, 1911, fifteen brothers an- 
swered Eta's roll-call. Every one except the seniors and one 
junior had returned, and these were joined by brothers A. L. 
MacDonell, S. K. Dick, Connerat and Hutchens, who re-entered 
to take law. Eight freshmen were introduced to the mysteries of 
the scarlet and blue, w^hich made a chapter of twenty-seven. 
J. E. Brown and A. M. MacDonell withdrew during the session. 
The initiates, all of the class of 1915, were: 383. William Allen 
Eawson. 384. Alan Morris MacDonell. 385. Henri Charbonnier 
McGowan. 386. Clark Howell, Jr. 387. Edwin Xash Broyles. 
388. Dan Burke Felker. 389. Ealphiel Phillipps Bassett. 390. 
Noble Paul Bassett. McGowan was a grandson of ' ' Char by, ' ' 
the dearly loved professor of physics, remembered by the older 
alumni, while Broyles was a son of Arnold Broyles, 88, an athlete 
of renown in his day. A new chapter house at 834 Prince avenue, 
the last one to be rented, and furnished through the generosity of 
Brother Phinizy Calhoun, 1900, was occupied for the first time 
this fall. Bob McWhorter continued his stellar role in football, 
and achieved the unique honor of being chosen captain of both 
baseball and football teams for the following season. The annual 
dance given in February was a huge success, as was the smoker 
given in May to the Omega men who came over to attend the 

79 



Georgia-Tech baseball game. The losses by graduation in June, 
1912, were Paul Felker, Ed Anderson and Woofter, who were the 
recipients of the degree of A.B., George and Connerat, B.L. 

At the tenth annual dinner of the Chi Phi Alumni Association 
of Atlanta, held at the Georgian Terrace Hotel in that city, on 
December 21, 1912, an unusual and fitting compliment was paid 
two Eta men. This association was organized in 1903 largely 
through the efforts of Eta alumni. Governor Joseph M. Brown, 
Lambda '72, presented a loving cup to Bob McWhorter as a trib- 
ute to his prowess on the athletic field, and Governor-elect John 
M. Slaton, Eta '86, presented a cup to Tom Connally, with the 
sincere gratitude of all Chi Phis for his labors in behalf of the 
fraternity. At the Atlanta dinner a year later, McWhorter pre- 
sented a cup to Governor Slaton, first president of the association, 
and ^ ^ Maj or ' ' Frank Mitchell, then presiding oflScer, delivered one 
to Dr. Calhoun in token of his distinguished services to the fra- 
ternity. 

At the opening of the college year 1912- '13 the chapter found 
itself in ^^a position of commanding pre-eminence," as stated 
by the historian of that time. Nineteen old men returned, and 
two former members of Eta re-entered college. These were 
Brantley Calloway and Calvin George. Eoy Stephens Anderson 
(401) Law '14, affiliated from Gamma, and the following new 
members joined: 391. Henry Warren Brown, '16, a brother of 
Ed Brown, '09. 392. Theodore Hammond Smith, '16, a brother 
of Alex Smith, '06. 393. Huntington Lamar Hook, '17. 394. 
William Bailey Denham, Jr., Law, '14. 395. Owen Kichard 
O'Keeffe, '16. 396. Addison Eeese Glover, '16. 397. Lloyd Brooke 
Griffith, '16. 398. Cleveland Hunter Norton, Law '14. 399. 
Charles Sweet Smith, Law '14. 400. Eobert Magruder Ammons, 
'16. Several of the brothers were honor men, several were on 
the college magazine staff, one won the sophomore declamation 
contest, and one was an inter-collegiate debater. Eeceivin^ di- 
plomas this year were: Calloway, T. S. Moise and Eobinson, A.B., 
Campbell, Lindsay, B.S., Dick, B.L. 

For the session 1913- '14, the ±ollowing men returned: Bob Mc- 
Whorter, C. M. Brown, Barrett, W. A. Eawson, A. M. MacDonell, 
McGowan, Howell, Broyles, N. P. and E. P. Bassett, H. W. Brown,

T. H. Smith, Denham and Ammons. fourteen in number, and the 
following nine freshmen, members of '17, were initiated: Eugene 
Eobert Black, Jr., John Scott Coleman, Henry Mitchell Dunn, Eo- 
land Ellis, Jr., Eobert Morris Holland, Kenneth Bryant Hodges, 
Howard Hart McWhorter, John Edwin Oliver, and Charles Dick- 
erson Orme. William Thurston Gilbert, ^14, affiliated from Omi- 
cron chapter to take the short agricultural course, which made a 
chapter of twenty-four men. In June 1914, Bob McWhorter, 
C. M. Brown and George Barrett, graduated with A.B. 

Fourteen men returned for the session of 1914-^15, and the ini- 
tiates were: Elbridge Seawell Boyd, Thomas Boiling Gay, Jr., 
Alonzo Morris Kelly, Inman Horner Knox, George Stovall Parker, 
William McKenzie Parker, Clarke Kendrick Smith and Eobert 
Wright, all of the class of 1918. Mark Cooper Pope, Jr., and 
Charles Augustus Eawson, of the same class, were transferred from 
Omega. This year should always be a memorable one in the 
annals of Eta, since it was the first in the occupancy of its own 
home, bought by the Trust Association for the sum of $7,500.00. 
This was a seventeen-room frame building, at 294 South Lumpkin 
street, facing the college campus, and next to the new Y. M. C. A. 
building. Though the purchase was made May 1, 1913, the chap- 
ter could not take possession until the fall of 1914 on account of 
the presence of another tenant. The chapter expended more than 
$800.00 and the E. T. A. nearly $700.00 this year on the house 
for improvements and furniture. An eating department was in- 
augurated, and through the able management of Ealph Bassett, 
one of the most valuable men of the decade, with the co-operation 
of the entire membership. Eta was in the most splendid condition 
in its history. The writer is indebted to Brother Bassett for 
much o± the data of this year, and of the years immediately preced- 
ing and following. On May 16, 1915, the day of the Georgia Tech 
baseball game in Athens, a buffet luncheon was served the alumni 
and their friends, and proved to be a delightful occasion. At this 
time Dr. Phinizy Calhoun presented the chapter with a victrola. 
The graduates were: Ealph Bassett, Howell, A.B., McGowan, 
C.E., Broyles, B.S., four out of eight which had been in the class, a 
good showing. Clark Howell, Jr., was editor-in-chief of the Bed 

83 



and Blaclc, president of Thalians, champion debater, member of 
most of the important clubs, including Sphinx. Ed Broyles was on 
football team. McGowan was president of German Club and Glee 
Club. Ealph Bassett was captain of company which won x^rize drill 
and first active chapter member of Phi Beta Kappa recently organ- 
ized at the University of Georgia. 

The two Bassetts, Henry Brown, T. H. Smith, H. H. McWhorter, 
Dunn, Oliver, J. S. Coleman, Ellis, Black, Hodges, I. H. Knox, 
C. K. Smith, Kelly, G. S. Parker, Boiling Gay and C. A. Eawson, 
17 men, came back to college for the session 1915- '16. Th^ fol- 
lowing were initiated: Fitzhugh Knox, Jr., brother of I. H. Knox, 
Alexander Campbell King, Jr., brother of Mitchell and Edward 
King, Edward Howard Eeynolds, Eobb Church Oertel, Eobert 
Langdon Foreman, Jr., John Lawrence Brown, and Louis Leonard 
Brown, Jr., of the class of '19; Abner Wellborn Calhoun, a kins- 
man of all the other Chi Phi Calhouns, and Eichard Winn Courts, 
of the class of '18, 9 men. William Wilson Weber, '17, affiliated 
from Gamma, and Owen Adams, Coleman, '16, affiliated from 
Omega, making in all a chapter of 28 brothers. Eta took her 
share of all honors, N. P. Bassett and Henry Brown being mem- 
bers of Phi Beta Kappa; Bassett also a member of Alpha Zeta. 
Oliver graduated w^ith A.B. N. P. Bassett graduated with B.S.Ag. 
and B.S., Henry Brown and T. H. Smith received B.S. A buffet 
luncheon was served the visiting alumni and their friends the day 
of the Tech-Georgia baseball game, which more than one hundred 
enjoyed. A barbecue dinner was given the members of the chap- 
ter, and the pledges, at the home of Brother McWhorter. The 
eating department at the chapter house was well managed by 
Brother Hodges. In the military department Chi Phi held the three 
highest offices: Ealph Bassett, lieutenant-colonel, Henry Brown, 
major, and Theodore Smith, captain and regimental adjutant. 

The history of Eta for 1916- '17 cannot be given in full, since 
the present story of the chapter for fifty years is dated March, 
1917. Most of the session has passed, however, and it has been 
a prosperous period. Seventeen old men returned in September, 
and 15 new ones have been added to the roll, making in all 32, 
which is the largest membership since the chapter was founded. 
The old men were: McWhorter, Dunn, Coleman, Ellis, Black, Gay,

Kelly, G. S. Parker, Eawson, F. Knox, King, Calhoun, Courts, 
Foreman, L. L. and J. L. Brown, and Weber. The initiates, of the 
class of ^19: Elijah Alexander Brown, Jr., kin to a bunch of 
that name, and to Tom Connally; and James Gaston Gay, a 
brother of Boiling Gay, and a nephew of Dr. Jim Gaston, Eta '89; 
of the class of '20; John Heidt Calhoun, brother of A. W., Albert 
Beda Arrington, Jr., brother of Homer Arrington, '11; Arthur 
Latimer Morton, Louis Morris Jordan, Thomas Cobb Hull, How- 
ard Bucknell, Jr., Eustace Floyd Lampkin, William Shellman 
Boston, son of Joe Boston, '88, Clifford Hillhouse Pope, Phillip 
Byrd Holland, John Moore Walton, Harrison Jackson Polk and 
William Hart Sibley, son of Sam Sibley, '92. The usual number 
of honors have befallen the chapter. McWhorter and Dunn are 
members of the 'varsity baseball aggregation, Coleman was a 
member of the football team, Ellis belongs to the XV Club, and 
Black belongs to the Gridiron Club, XV Club and Senior Bound 
Table. Kelly is the first junior ever to hold a commission as 
captain, as they are confined to the seniors. Boiling Gay is a 
member of the Senior Round Table, A. W. Calhoun performs in 
the Glee Club, and Courts was a champion debater. Foreman was 
a sophomore declaimer and debater, while L. L. Brown was a 
sophomore declaimer. Lampkin was a freshman debater. Black 
and Ellis won Phi Beta Kappa keys. A buffet luncheon 
was given the day of the Georgia-Tech football game in Athens, 
the largest attended athletic event ever staged in the clas- 
sic city. About the date of the Tech baseball games, during 
May, and close to the celebration of Eta's semi-centennial, the 
chapter expects to give the most elaborate dance in its history. 
An average of 18 brothers have been eating in the house dur- 
ing the year, an excellent feature of college life which has been 
well managed by Brother Weber. The chapter has joined the 
Pan-Hellenic Council of the university. 

One of the most important events in the history of 1916- '17 is 
the extensive improvements now being wrought in the house by the 
E. T. A. These will cost $1,800.00, and while not providing abso- 
lutely every detail to be desired, the place will be put in splendid 
condition and should furnish attractive quarters until such time, 
within a few years, when we can erect Eta's ideal home. To sum 

87 



up briefly other achievements of the Trust Association during its 
first decade of existence, with the payment of a note of $500.00 on 
April 16, 1917, fifty years after the chapter was born, the present 
house will be paid for in full. This money has been raised prin- 
cipally by notes signed by the brothers for amounts of $25.00, 
$50.00, $100.00, and in two or three instances for $200.00, payable 
in ten years. The bulk of the notes have been for $100.00. A 
great many notes were signed by the older alumni, but ever since 
the establishment of the Trust Association, every initiate of the 
chapter has signed a note when he first signed Eta^s roll, his an- 
nual payments to begin after he leaves college. In this way more 
than $8,000.00 has been collected. Interest on bank deposits, 
rent from the active chapter ($75.00 per month), and a sum of 
$400.00 received from members not on notes, bring the grand 
total to date to more than $10,500.00. The amount of $3,000.00 
is still due and unpaid on the notes, and more than $7,000.00 in 
notes, not yet due, is in the possession of the association. The 
other expenses have been for operating the association, improve- 
ments on real estate, interest, taxes, insurance, etc. It should be 
noted by the alumni that no item appears for the salary of the 
secretary and treasurer, who has held the position since the enter- 
prise began, and who has been so largely responsible for its suc- 
cess. How can Eta show him the gratitude which is due him? 

Eta chapter has initiated 447 members for the fraternity. Seven 
were initiated for Omega, one of whom, Jesse Draper, was after- 
wards transferred to Eta. Omitting the six initiated for Omega, 
who were never students at Athens, 441 have been active mem- 
bers. Of this number, 38 have affiliated from other chapters, viz: 
from Gamma, 25 ; from Omega, 5 ; from Mercer Iota, 3 ; and from 
Virginia Alpha, Wofford Sigma, Oglethorpe Lambda, Xi and 
Omicron, one each. Eighty-eight members have died, and one 
has been expelled, which leaves 358 living today. This makes Eta 
next to the largest chapter in the fraternity, Omicron at Yale 
being the largest. Of the 260 Chi Phis living in Atlanta, 130 are 
alumni of Eta, which is not such a large percentage as given in 
1904, when 97 of the 161 Atlanta Chi Phis were Eta men. Proba- 

88 



bly about one-fourth of the University of Georgia ahimni who re- 
side in Atlanta are Chi Phis. 

Eta has played a part in national fraternity affairs. Besides 
having Alpha of Congress several times, and Grady, Grand Alpha 
in 1882-^83, and Hillyer, Grand Gamma in 1894-^96, previously 
mentioned, Brother Frank Mitchell was appointed Grand Zeta in 
1900 to open the congress in Atlanta, Phinizy Calhoun was elected 
Grand Zeta from 1900 to 1903, and Connally held the same office 
from 1903 to 1906, Winship Nunnally, in 1906-^07, and Boland 
from 1907 to 1910. Three other alumni of Eta, not referred to 
before, deserve the thanks of the chapter for their activity in 
behalf of Chi Phi. These are Frank Fleming, for his wise coun- 
sels; John Dennis, for his work as secretary of the Alumni Asso- 
ciation of Atlanta, and Hugh Gordon, for his interest in establish- 
ing the chapter in its own home. No doubt many other alumni, 
who were conspicuous for fraternity spirit as undergraduates, 
would continue to render valuable service later if they had the 
opportunity. Unless an alumnus lives in a center of population of 
his fraternity mates, he can find but little upon which to expend 
his enthusiasm. The most notable exception to this rule known to 
the writer was in the case of Judge ^ ^ Billy ^^ Pope. Although 
exiled in the far west a few years after leaving college, on account 
of bad health, up to the time of his death a few months ago, he 
maintained the same zeal for Chi Phi. Not more than a half 
dozen members of the fraternity have ever lived in the vast State 
of New Mexico at the same time, and for years Pope was the sole 
Chi Phi resident. During all this while he was writing frequently 
to brothers in the east on matters pertaining to the organization 
he loved so well, and was planning the foundation of chapters 
in New Mexico and neighboring states. 

Most of the early alumni of Eta took to law as a profession. 
While of late years the various departments of business life have 
seemed more inviting, the legal profession still claims a large share, 
and always will. In this connection, it is encouraging to observe 
that while the members of a decade or two ago were not so par- 
ticular about finishing college and receiving degrees as were their 



predecessors of the sixties, seventies and eighties, the number of 
Chi Phis to graduate now seems to be increasing. 

Eta's roll shows 82 lawyers and 24 doctors. These doctors are 
all M.D.'s except one dentist, who did not practice. Twelve give 
their occupation as farmer, and probably the future will see more 
of these, since the agricultural feature of the university has grown 
to be a most attractive and valuable course. There are 8 engi- 
neers, 6 teachers, 4 preachers, 2 journalists, one chemist and one 
architect. It is interesting at this time to know that we have 
seven men in the army and three in the navy. Four men in the 
army, not already named, are Frank Clay, Cooksey and Beach, 
lieutenants, and Hansell, a major in the medical service. Besides 
Colonel A. C. Hodgson in the navy, we have Gross and Haines as 
lieutenants. 

Death has visited us frequently since the first vrriting of this 
narrative appeared in 1904, and we should bow in sorrow as the 
names of those are called who have joined the innumerable caravan 
since that date : ' ' Billy ' ' Armstrong, Holcombe Bacon, Frank 
C. Block, S. C. Brinkley, O. A. Bull, Eobert Lee Mason Chilton, 
J. S. Coles, Fred Crisp, Washington Dessau, W. J. Dobbs, Isaac 
F. Dortch, Clement Evans, Meador Goldsmith, D. E. Groover, 
Moses Guyton, Sr., E. M. Hammond, Hugh Harris, Walter B. Hill, 
Dan Hughes, H. C. Jackson, Mitchell King, H. H. Little, P. W. 
Martin, James M. Mayne, Ealph Meldrim, J. A. Morris, Brevard 
Nisbet, S. T. Oliver, W. H. Pope, W. E. Ehodes, Joe Salisbury,

C. E. Twitty, Hugh Y. Washington, Eev. A. McK. Williams, Wal- 
lace Wingfield, F. W. Wright and Eobert P. Yancey. 

Many striking examples of success among the younger alumni in 
law, politics, medicine and other callings could be given, but these 
will be left for a future historian of Eta to record. Another half 
century will show inventions of which man does not now con* 
ceive. Heaven grant it may show the consummation of the great 
university that was in the dreams of Walter B. Hill. It will show 
Eta in a home of its own erection, and with hundreds of names 
added to the roll. These will be loyal members and will achieve 
distinctions of which we shall be proud. But they can not love 

90 



the scarlet and blue better nor reflect more honor upon it than 
those who have gone before, so gloriously typified by him who will 
preside at the celebration of the semi-centennial — our peerless 
Founder !

Summary of Class Rolls and 
Statistical Table 

The statistics show a steady decrease in chapter scholarship, as 
reflected by the number of degrees received, from the splendid 
showing of the brilliant company who founded and directed its 
early life to the beginning of the decade just passed, when the Eta 
Trust Association was organized and alumni influence became 
more pronounced for betterment. 

During the decade from 1867 to 1876, 71.6 ^er cent, ok the 
members successfully completed their courses at Athens and re- 
ceived degrees; 1877-^86, 54.1 per cent, graduated; 1887- '96, 
41.9 per cent.; 1897-^06 26.5 per cent.; 1907- '17, 45.6 per cent. 

Thirty-one who have dropped out of the university before com- 
pleting their courses have received degrees from other colleges and 
at professional schools. 

The following holding M.D. degrees did not complete courses 
at the University of Georgia: Howell, Steedly and Armstrong, of 
'94 ; Murphey, '95 ; Thornton, '98 ; Goldsmith, '99 ; Richardson and 
R. B. Eidley, Jr., '01 ; F. M. Ridley, Jr., '03 ; Swanson, '04 ; Baker 
and Cranston, '05; Dobbs and Lane, '08. 

Seven Tech students were initiated in 1903- '04 by Eta to assist 
in organizing the Omega chapter. One of these, Jesse Draper, 
afterwards entered the university and became an active Eta man. 
The six who were never undergraduates at Athens are not in- 
cluded in the table above. The classes of 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920, 
now in college, are not included. There have been to date 44 men 
in these classes. 

As the total membership for fifty years is 446, there has been 
an average increase each year of 8.92. The average number of 
inil;iates for the past ten years has been 10.7. It would be an in- 
teresting problem for one familiar with mortality tables to figure 
how long it will be before as many Eta men die every year as 
are initiated, and what will be the number of those who will com- 
pose the permanent body of living alumni from that datt; on. 
There have been 88 deaths to date.
